Each time I have been here there's been no problem getting a seat as there's plenty of room, but there never seem to be many staff working so you have to wait quite a while to be served at the weekends. The menu is quite varied and includes pastas and sharing options. Drinks include delicious smoothies as well as the usual soft drinks and coffees. On the pepsi and tango you also get unlimited free refills which can be great if you're planning on devouring a large pizza to yourself! If you're driving there I'd say try to park directly behin pizza hut (away from the argos side) as the middle (main) car park gets pretty full. Also the roads in and out are busy so use the crossings!

This family run Italian restaurant and Pizzeria is really worth a visit. I've been coming here for…read moreyears, and have not once left disappointed. The menu is full of very good traditional, Italian food, and boy are the pizzas good (I wish I knew the recipe). The portions are sizeable enough but it is very easy, and affordable to manage a three course meal, and maybe even coffee afterwards. The walls are covered with photos of old Italy, and really add to the general atmosphere of Villagio. The Villagio also offer takeaways, and what has particular impressed me is that this is not just limited to pizzas, but most of the food on the main menu as well. Taking all this into consideration, it should come as no surprise that people from all over Cardiff, flock to the Villagio, and you should too!

Appetiser: Whitebait Definitely not what was expected. Much…read morelarger (immature) fish which both tasted and smelled overly-fishy. The garlic mayo for the side salad was simply mayo. Main: Paperoni Pizza w/ Onion The sauce was watery, leaving a liquid layer on top of the baked pie, so there was a raw crust underneath the toppings. Essentially, it was flavourless and very flimsy, having no stiffness to the crust. Service: Invisible Staff Friendly as you enter but service staff disappear from sight, or don't look around the room to check if something is needed. They also add an (optional) 10% gratuity to the final bill; which we had that removed. Ambiance: Basic Not exactly Italian in decor and could pass for any type of restaurant. Cannot speak to any other dishes but it was not very impressive. Overall, they appeared to use cost-cutting tactics, lower quality ingredients and all the food lacked proper seasoning. To each their own but it left no positive impression, at least worthy of potentially returning.

Friday night down at the Mall Cribbs Causeway isn't really where I wanted to find myself this week…read more But nevertheless that is where I was, shopping for lighting in a complex that has enough lighting options to give Blackpool a good run for its money. John Lewis, Marks and Spencer's, Next and Argos all offering different pendants, chandeliers, lamps and wall lights. Thankfully I only needed two lights for the living room but as usual walked out with more than what I wanted. Two chandeliers and a ceiling light! With all of that done it was time to eat. We chose to eat in the Mall because let's face it who wants to be cooking on a Friday night? The mall offers a wide variety of places to eat. From takeaways to eat in restaurants the choice is quite varied. However for some reason KFC and McDonalds are no longer there? Fried chicken and hamburgers are a staple in the Patchway diet so I don't know how they are coping with these two institutions now gone? We decided to move away from the main food court as Yo Sushi isn't all that, Pizza Hut can play havoc with your colon and Café Rouge is rather overpriced for what you get! On the same level as the main food court but at the other end of the Mall the John Lewis end you'll find opposite HMV the restaurant come takeaway 'Tortilla'. A Californian stroke Mexican eatery that specialises in burritos, nachos and tacos. It's been open a little while and seems to be doing well? It's not often you see a specific taco place to eat in so we gave it a go. Walking in the instant impression you get is this place is the Subway Sandwiches of the taco world. It's long deli style counter bulging with different taco and burrito fillings. From salsa to pulled pork it was all there. Chunks of beef swimming in a chilli sauce glistening under the halogen lights. Crisp fresh salad awaiting the variety of different dressings and golden tortilla chips standing out like shards of edible glass from their container. We where greeted warmly with a smile from the guy behind the counter who took our order. I had the trio of tacos with pulled pork, cheese, salsa, guacamole and sour cream. My shadow had a baked burrito with rice, beans, cheese and salsa. We sat down in an almost entirely empty restaurant. There was no atmosphere, there's no vibrancy or energy in this place. It's dead! A real shame as it has great potential to be a really fun place to eat on a Friday night with friends. Onto the food then. Once sat down I started to tuck in to my first taco. Now there's no easy way of eating these. You can't eat them with a knife and fork because despite looking like a wally you'd just get food everywhere. So it was a case of picking the thing up and getting on with it. The first bite was a disaster because half of the filling dropped out. But that was because my technique was all wrong. Second go and second bite and wow! Fantastic flavours. The fresh salsa was tasty and alive. The flavours worked. You could taste every individual element and it wasn't overwhelming with chilli or pepper. There was a kick but not one that kicked you in the chest! The guacamole, again fresh vibrant flavours and it wasn't all baby mush. The chunks of avocado where present and it worked really well with the cheese, sour cream and pork. The pork was tender and juicy. Again not overdone with spice but just right. One down two to go. Both demolished in quick succession. I really enjoyed this meal. It was nice to have something different and this place definitely offers that. One the burrito and the taco where gone there was only one thing left to do! Order some more of course! Not burritos and taco though. Instead a plate of their delicious looking loaded nachos. We had a huge plate piled high with pulled pork, guacamole, sour cream, salsa and melted cheese. The cheese was liquid cheese the kind you see only on American TV shows like molten loveliness oozing in and out of the nooks and crannies that made up this plate of tortilla shards. Every mouthful from the very first to the very last was a joy. Crunchy, gooey, meaty and flavourful I could of quite happily eaten another plate had someone put another in from of me. After all that food it was time to leave. We'd already paid the bill as you pay as you go which saves in any embarrassment of accidentally walking out without paying. Yes I have done that on more than one occasion! Not on purpose though I hasten to add. We where now in a completely empty restaurant but the staff behind the counter thanked us for coming, wished us well and bid us goodbye. Top marks for customer service. I'll definitely be going back because the food is very good and yes I would recommend this place to family and friends.

Love this place!! My mom and I are quarantining for two weeks and have been craving Mexican food…read more As a Californian I've got pretty high standards when it comes to Mexican food and this surpasses the bar in my opinion. I was also surprised at the amount of vegan options there were, as that is not very common in CA. I got the large jackfruit burrito and while I've never had anything like it at home it is full of flavour and is big enough for two meals. My mom got the carnitas burrito and said it was better than most she has had before. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Tucked…read moreaway at the far end of Talbot Road, everything about La Trattoria is genuine; from the authentic ambience of the restaurant itself to the food that graces the plate. Having been there a number of times, I have had chance to sample a variety of dishes. The pasta was gorgeous, the meat was cooked to perfection and the fish was so fresh it almost jumped off the table, but despite the quality of these dishes, there are certain ones that stand out like an overeater at a buffet table - most notably the calamari. This dish is the stuff of legend and is proof that you don't have pay to go to Michelin star restaurants to find culinary excellence. Besides the regular menu, there is also a great value lunchtime menu that offers two courses for £9.99 with a glass of wine thrown in for good measure. What's more, they have recently started up a take-away service, which means you can now enjoy this authentic Italian food in the comfort of your own home. While the speed of service can be hit and miss at times, they can often be forgiven as the restaurant is frequently fully booked and the friendly staff clearly work hard to serve everyone as quickly and efficiently as possible. All in all, if you love Italian food, you will love La Trattoria.

In…read morean area that is dominated by Indian and Oriental restaurants, it was a refreshing change to find a venue that offered more traditional meals as well as more extravagant, foreign dishes. The quiet midweek evening meant service was very speedy and I had a menu in my hand before I'd even had chance to wipe the drool from my chops. And what a menu it was, with starters ranging from pates and soups to fried mushrooms and whitebait, accompanying mouthwatering mains that would leave Gordon Ramsay's cookbook looking like a hobo's diet plan. For my starter, I chose the lemon prawn bruschetta and when the first mouthful hit my tongue, it released a taste so satisfying it could make the Antichrist praise the lord. Pan seared with garlic and chili, the prawns were a taste sensation and the chili gave it a distinct kick in the aftertaste for good measure. Served with a modest side salad, this starter got an immediate thumbs up of approval from the spotless state of my plate. For main, I put my love of steak to one side in favour of the pork cacciatore, which was absolutely gorgeous. Two slices of lean pork topped with a tomato and basil sauce was exactly what the doctor ordered, and I would happily OD on that prescription any day. The only downside of the whole experience was that the first two courses were so delicious that, by the time I saw the dessert menu, I was fit to burst. But after such a triumphant first impression, there will definitely be another opportunity to sample that.
